My Pet Roc

WotLK Classic Northrend Leveling Guide

My Pet Roc

Both Factions • Sholazar Basin • Level 77 • Dorian's Outpost

Collect 7 Roc Eggs from the Bonefields and bring them to Zootfizzle.

Zootfizzle at Dorian's Outpost (42, 28) wants roc eggs for a pet project. Fly northeast into the Bonefields and look for sparkling eggs on the ground among the nests around 56, 27 to 59, 28. No combat required to collect them, though Goretalon Rocs patrol nearby. Pair this with Reagent Agent from Colvin Norrington to kill rocs for Twisted Roc Talons in the same area.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Vikstone spent the collection moving in the gaps between roc patrols, holding still whenever something with stone-scoring talons passed overhead. Zootfizzle accepted the eggs, as if he never pictured a full-grown roc.

“Dorian’s had me training and feeding the baby drakes he captures, and it has gotten me thinking. I want a pet of my own! No, not a juvenile drake. I don’t want a pet capable of biting my hand off! However, in the Bonefields to the northeast of the camp, beyond the area dominated by the drakes, there’s a large population of goretalon rocs.

The grown ones are beyond hope of domesticating, but if you bring me the eggs from their nests, I can raise them from the time they hatch.”

Use a flying mount or fast ground mount to quickly locate eggs.
Helpful Notes:
Eggs are easy to spot due to their sparkling effect, but some may blend into the environment. Keep your eyes peeled!
Respawn rates are decent; if the area is crowded, wait a moment for eggs to reappear. — **Finding Roc Eggs:** Roc Eggs are sparkling objects found on the ground in The Bone Fields. Best coordinates to check: 56, 27 and 59, 28. They are scattered throughout the area.

Quest Giver: Zootfizzle — Dorian’s Outpost, Sholazar Basin [42, 28]

Objective: Collect 7 Roc Eggs.

Quick Facts

Location: The Bonefields, northeast of Dorian’s Outpost, around [56, 27] to [59, 28]
Pairs With: Reagent Agent (kill Goretalon Rocs for Twisted Roc Talons in the same area)

Walkthrough

Fly northeast from Dorian’s Outpost, past the Savage Thicket, into the Bonefields. The area is littered with enormous bones and swarming with Goretalon Rocs (level 75-76).
Roc Eggs are sparkling ground objects scattered among the nests and bones. They glow clearly, though some can blend into the terrain among the pale bones. No combat is required to pick them up, but rocs patrol nearby and may aggro.
Spawn density is good with decent respawn rates, so this is a quick collection even on busy servers.

Efficiency Tips

Always pair with Reagent Agent from Colvin Norrington (same outpost). You will be killing rocs anyway while navigating between egg spawns, and their Twisted Roc Talons drop reliably.
A flying mount makes this trivial. Land near eggs, grab them, fly to the next cluster.

Lore Context

Zootfizzle has been stuck babysitting Dorian’s captured proto-drake hatchlings and wants a pet of his own, but nothing with teeth. His completion text is a dig at gnomish engineering: “I’ve gotten so tired of robotic squirrels and chickens for company. It’ll be wonderful to have a pet whose joints won’t require oiling!”

This ties directly to his established hatred of cogs and mechanical devices.

Rocs in Warcraft draw from Arabic mythology, where the roc (or rukh) is an enormous bird of prey said to be capable of carrying off elephants. The Goretalon Matriarch, their leader, has a unique white coloration and is involved in the Oracle daily quest The Heartblood’s Strength.

Easter Egg

The quest title “My Pet Roc” is a pun on the Pet Rock, the famous 1975 novelty gift created by Gary Dahl. WoW even has its own in-game item called My Pet Rock (a grey vendor item).

“Dorian’s had me training and feeding the baby drakes he captures, and it has gotten me thinking,” Zootfizzle said. “I want a pet of my own! No, not a juvenile drake. I don’t want a pet capable of biting my hand off!”

Vikstone Portrait Act 2 — Illustrated by Christian DiBari and Simon Gough.

A reasonable concern, given the hatchlings snapping at him from their cages.

“However, in the Bonefields to the northeast of the camp, there’s a large population of goretalon rocs. The grown ones are beyond hope of domesticating, but if you bring me the eggs from their nests, I can raise them from the time they hatch.”

The Bonefields. Scattered bones of large creatures, picked clean, with rocs circling overhead. The adults had wingspans that cast shadows larger than tents and their talons left grooves in solid stone.

Gathering eggs meant waiting for the parents to leave, moving fast, and hoping they didn’t return early. Each egg meant the same gamble: hold very still while something capable of carrying off a tauren passed overhead, then move before it circled back.

Returned with the eggs intact. So was I, mostly.

“Oh, these are very nice!” Zootfizzle cradled them. “I’ve gotten so tired of robotic squirrels and chickens for company. It’ll be wonderful to have a pet whose joints won’t require oiling!”

Didn’t mention that a grown roc could swallow his robotic squirrel whole.

The rocs circling the Bonefields still had something Colvin Norrington needed in Reagent Agent.
